Hi,

Upon login to a terminal, I've been trying to get the previous login time and whereabouts to show using last, but I'm stumped. Is there any way that I can grab the second line of the last command and echo it? Thanks.

So I put an echo in ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc, and ~/.profile that tells me which code is running upon startup. I found that through SSH both ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc run.
